Our Team

Filton Avenue Nursery School is one of 12 Maintained Nursery schools in Bristol and one of 381 in England.

Maintained nursery schools are long established and have a statutory duty to provide teachers in all nursery classes as well as a Special Educational Needs teacher and Disability co-ordinator and Headteacher. We lead the early years sector through continued professional development and in joint professional development through projects and/or research.

The nursery schools provide a wealth of provocation, interest and resources across the entire sector. We have a commitment to share best practice and drive the narrative of early years education locally, nationally and internationally. We are building a diverse team of staff who have a wide range of experience, expertise and qualifications, and who are passionate about working to improve the lives of children and families.

Everyone on our team is important and contributes to the smooth running and success of our centre. We are committed to developing the employment and training of local people. We are proud that our staff team reflects the diversity of our local community. We invest in our team by providing high-quality and continuing professional development opportunities.

To achieve this, we close our centre for whole team staff training days throughout the year.
